Figure 6From: Effect of nano-hydroxyapatite coating on the osteoinductivity of porous biphasic calcium phosphate ceramics Osteogenic differentiation of MSCs cultured on BCP and nHA-coated BCP scaffolds. (A) ALP activity, (B) Coll I production, and (C) OC production. MSCs on nHA-coated BCP scaffolds produced higher levels of these osteogenic markers than MSCs on BCP scaffolds (P < 0.05), and the levels of ALP, Coll I, and OC production on both scaffold types were significantly greater than those of the control group. Data are given as mean ± SD, n =12 with dissimilar letters indicating a significant difference (P < 0.05).Back to article page
